Flexible Gate/Expander Plug-In

FabFilter releases Pro-G 09-May-11

Following the Pro-L limiter, Pro-Q equalizer and Pro-C compressor plug-ins, FabFilter has now introduced FabFilter Pro-G, which they describe as a top-quality gate/expander plug-in with flexible side chain routing options and a streamlined, well-designed user interface. Here's the rest of what they have to say about it...
FabFilter Pro-G offers five meticulously fine-tuned algorithms, including classic analog models and upward expansion, as well as specific designs for vocal and guitar processing. In combination with the adjustable threshold, ratio, range settings and attack, release, hold and look-ahead times, Pro-G will process your drum and vocal tracks smoothly and with character. At the same time, Pro-G is also the perfect tool to subtly and precisely restore lost dynamics while mastering.
As you would expect, the well-thought-out interface has been crafted with much attention to detail. FabFilter Pro-G's prominent real-time level display and accurate meters smartly combine input, output and gain reduction levels, giving you immediate insight in the plug-in's dynamic behavior. Together with the transfer curve and threshold level feedback, choosing the right settings at the right time couldn't be easier.
A click on the Expert button will resize the interface to make space for additional external side-chain input and side-chain filtering controls. The expert panel contains wet/dry level and panning controls, and allows the side-chain path and linking to be set up in any way imaginable. The interface conveniently adapts its size to reveal the expert controls only when needed, making it just as easy to use FabFilter Pro-G as a straightforward gate, or as a full-featured creative expander.
